General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The government is suggesting that it might ban some Apple security updates. Under the latest plans, tech companies would need to notify the British government before rolling out a security fix but might be refused permission if it blocks a vulnerability that’s being exploited by security services.

You ate absolutely correct in that regard.

They get my vote for a couple reasons.

They are the least bad option outside of what I used to do and vote for an independent.

Some of their policies that have been implemented have directly benefited me and mine. Annoyingly with policies that Labour should be pushing.

They are never going to be in government at the UK level with labour's policy of rather having a tory government than work with them.

They are a means to an end without being as bigoted as the lot that split off with Alex for the most part.

I find yousef very bland but I would say if the other nutter got the job I'd ho back to independents
